Cell-free (RNA) and cell-associated (DNA) HIV-1 and postnatal transmission through breastfeeding [PDF]
<p>Introduction - Transmission through breastfeeding remains important for mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) in resource-limited settings. We quantify the relationship between cell-free (RNA) and cell-associated (DNA) shedding of HIV-1 virus in ...

Noninvasive prenatal diagnosis of fetal RhD status using cell-free fetal DNA in maternal plasma with TaqMan® real-time PCR assay [PDF]
Prenatal diagnosis is now part of established obstetric practice in many countries. However, conventional methods of prenatal diagnosis of obtaining fetal tissues for genetic analysis, including amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling, are invasive

Cell-free DNA and outcome in sepsis. [PDF]
Severe sepsis can be a catastrophic condition that is often associated with poor outcomes. The early diagnosis and management of the condition are vital in order to improve the chances of survival. However, owing to the syndromal nature of its definition

Cell-free DNA in the circulation as a non-invasive biomarker for breast cancer [PDF]
Breast cancer remains the most common cancer among women worldwide. Although standard screening methods such as clinical breast examination (CBE) and Full-Field Digital Mammography (FFDM) are non-invasive itself, their sensitivity and specificity is ...

DNA replication is required for the checkpoint response to damaged DNA in Xenopus egg extracts. [PDF]
Alkylating agents, such as methyl methanesulfonate (MMS), damage DNA and activate the DNA damage checkpoint. Although many of the checkpoint proteins that transduce damage signals have been identified and characterized, the mechanism that senses the ...

Single Cell Analysis of Human RAD18-Dependent DNA Post-Replication Repair by Alkaline Bromodeoxyuridine Comet Assay [PDF]
Damage to DNA can block replication progression resulting in gaps in the newly synthesized DNA. Cells utilize a number of post-replication repair (PRR) mechanisms such as the RAD18 controlled translesion synthesis or template switching to overcome the ...
